  • Modified zein genes containing lysine
    Patent number: 4886878
    Abstract: Modified 19kd and 22kd zeins containing lysine are provided. Lysine additions are made by modifying structural genes which encode 19kd and 22kd pre-zeins. Modified zeins produced from the modified structural gene templates are found to retain important properties of unmodified zeins, having similar molecular weights, having the ability to form protein bodies within the rough endoplasmic reticulum of a host cell and being soluble in alcohol.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 1988
    Date of Patent: December 12, 1989
    Assignees: Lubrizol Genetics, Inc., Purdue Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: Brian Larkins, Richard E. Cuellar, John C. Wallace, Gad Galili
